I'm looking for somewhere that will take an old car shell. Ive heard that steel prices are high at the moment, so scrap dealers will buy (at a price to make it worth while)
a) is this the case and
b) does anyone know where around here (hampshire that is).

If you literally just have a shell, they might not give you anything for it. They might just offer a free removal. Thats good enough.
I`ve just scrapped a mondeo which had no engine in it and my local scrappy paid me £70 for it! Result!
Suggest you ring around local scrappies until you find one you are happy with.

Scrap car collectors sometimes advertise in local newspapers.

Scrap weigh in places, not breakers yards is the place to take it, they will weigh it and give you the price of contaminated (mixed with all the sh!t) price.

I weighed in a load of rubbish not long ago. You just drive onto the weighing bridge, they weigh you and give you a ticket. Then when you drive back out they weigh you again and give you £175/ton for the difference.
If you have the cat. converter then weigh that in (first) separately as they are about £30 - 40 as they have Platinum in them. Wheels should be removed of the tyres and weighed in with the shell (Alloys can fetch a couple of extra pounds in weighed in separately). Some tyre places will pay £5 a tyre for those that can be resold as part worns.

Sorry don't know of a weigh in place in your area.

As above dont go to scrap car place. Go to proper metal merchants. Scrap price has dropped in the last 2 or 3 weeks. I got 200 a ton for heavy and 150 for mixed recently. Ive heard heavy is as low a 150 in some places.

Alloy wheels fetch a bit with no tyres. Cats worth money too.

Shell on its own wont be much but will ay back some of what you paid for donor.

We're getting £220 heavy, £200 mixed (as in car or bits of car), £500 unstripped armoured cable and £3450 stripped copper cable

(all per tonne obviously!! )

Around this way it is £100 per tonne for a car at the big yards, my faithful old 406 is off there tomorrow. If it makes it.
